These features attempt to detect 1069f7bcf3SWarner Losh incorrect use of system primitives, and encourage loud failure 1169f7bcf3SWarner Losh through extra sanity checking and fail stop semantics. They 1269f7bcf3SWarner Losh also substantially impact system performance. If you want to 1369f7bcf3SWarner Losh do performance measurement, benchmarking, and optimization, 1469f7bcf3SWarner Losh you'll want to turn them off. This includes various WITNESS- 1569f7bcf3SWarner Losh related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc debugging flags 1669f7bcf3SWarner Losh in userland, and various verbose features in the kernel. Many 1769f7bcf3SWarner Losh developers choose to disable these features on build machines 18a19f8ddaSDavid E. O'Brien to maximize performance. 19c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien 20fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson20030923: 21fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson Fix a bug in arplookup(), whereby a hostile party on a locally 22fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson attached network could exhaust kernel memory, and cause a system 23fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson panic, by sending a flood of spoofed ARP requests. See 24fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson FreeBSD-SA-03:14.arp. 25fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson 26db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine20030915: 27db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine A change to /etc/defaults/rc.conf now causes inetd to be started 28db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine with `-C 60' if it is not overridden in /etc/rc.conf. This 29db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine causes inetd to stop accepting connections from an IP address 30db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine that exceeds the rate of 60 connections per minute. 31db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine 32c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen20030829: 33c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen The following rc.d scripts have been removed and should be 34c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen deleted from your installation: atm2.sh atm3.sh devdb 35c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen localdaemons network1 network2 network3. Depending on when 36c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen you last updated world and used mergemaster(8) you may or 37c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen may not have problems during the rc boot sequence. The simplest 38c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen solution is an 'rm -rf /etc/rc.d/*' and then 'mergemaster -i'. 39c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen The atm2.sh atm3.sh and devdb scripts were removed some time 40c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen ago, so depending on when you installed -CURRENT these scripts 41c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen may or may not exist on your system. 42c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen 4317c159dcSSøren Schmidt20030824: 4417c159dcSSøren Schmidt ATAng has been committed. You need to build world as sys/ata.h 4517c159dcSSøren Schmidt has changed, and userland atacontrol depends on it. 46f240812bSSøren Schmidt If you use ATA SW raids you need "device ataraid" in your 47f240812bSSøren Schmidt kernel config file, as it is no longer pulled in automatically. 4817c159dcSSøren Schmidt 49c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien20030819: 50c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien The OFW_NEWPCI option has been turned on in the Sparc64 GENERIC kernel. 51c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien Among other things, this changes the device enumeration to be 52c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien closer to Solaris. Be aware that, this can even cause the machine 53c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien to not boot without manual intervention before the fstab is adjusted. 5469f7bcf3SWarner Losh 5538c962e7SNate Lawson20030728: 5638c962e7SNate Lawson All current USB and Firewire quirks in da(4) have been deprecated 5738c962e7SNate Lawson and will be removed for 5.2. If this causes failure for your 5838c962e7SNate Lawson umass(4) devices, enable "options DA_OLD_QUIRKS" in your kernel 5938c962e7SNate Lawson and send the output of "camcontrol inquiry da0" to scsi@freebsd.org 6038c962e7SNate Lawson so the quirk can be re-enabled. 6138c962e7SNate Lawson 62178cf4e9SWarner Losh20030722: 63178cf4e9SWarner Losh FPU-less support has been removed from FreeBSD. Chances are you won't 64178cf4e9SWarner Losh notice. 386+387 support should still work after this change, but 65178cf4e9SWarner Losh it is now a minimum requirement for the i386 port that you have real 66178cf4e9SWarner Losh FPU hardware. 67178cf4e9SWarner Losh 68178cf4e9SWarner Losh20030714: 69178cf4e9SWarner Losh Some people are having problems with changes related to /rescue. 70178cf4e9SWarner Losh If you are building -j N, you will need to define NO_RESCUE. Others 71178cf4e9SWarner Losh will need to define it if /rescue has issues with their environment. 72178cf4e9SWarner Losh People should report those issues to current@. 73178cf4e9SWarner Losh 74157c629aSWarner Losh20030711: 75157c629aSWarner Losh gcc was upgraded to 3.3. You are advised to not build -DNOCLEAN 768b71efcaSCeri Davies across this point. Further, it might be a good idea to remove 7705538fa9SWarner Losh /usr/obj. 78157c629aSWarner Losh 796cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar20030613: [retrospective] 806cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar There was a small window in which sed(1) was broken. If you 816cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar happen to have sed(1) installed during that window, which is 826cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar evidenced by an inability to build world with the failure 836cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar given below, you need to manually build and install sed(1) 846cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar (and only sed(1)) before doing anything else. This is a one- 856cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar time snafu.

Kernel 104df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp and ccdconfig(8) needs to be in sync, this is particularly 105df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp important to remember beforehand if your source tree is on 106df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp a ccd device. Consider making a copy of the old ccdconfig 107df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp into /boot/kernel.good or wherever you keep your backup 108df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp kernel. 109df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp 11052b47445SMark Murray20030505: 11152b47445SMark Murray Kerberos 5 (Heimdal) is now built by default. Setting 11252b47445SMark Murray MAKE_KERBEROS5 no longer has any effect. If you do NOT 11352b47445SMark Murray want the "base" Kerberos 5, you need to set NO_KERBEROS. 11452b47445SMark Murray 115a26df538SWarner Losh20030502: 116a26df538SWarner Losh groff has been updated. If you try to do a buildworld and 117a26df538SWarner Losh get an infinite loop in troff, update to May 4th or newer. If you 118a26df538SWarner Losh have a newer kernel than userland, you may need to set the OSRELDATE 119a26df538SWarner Losh to 500110 in your environment before starting a buildworld. 120a26df538SWarner Losh 1214b065e2cSDoug Barton20030501: 1224b065e2cSDoug Barton The old rc system has been removed. Please report any problems 1234b065e2cSDoug Barton to freebsd-rc@yahoogroups.com, and/or freebsd-current@freebsd.org. 1244b065e2cSDoug Barton Your personal versions of these files will not be removed, so you can 1254b065e2cSDoug Barton continue to use them. However, you should take great care when updating, 1264b065e2cSDoug Barton especially when using mergemaster, since the compatibility code that 1274b065e2cSDoug Barton utilizes these old scripts has also been removed. 1284b065e2cSDoug Barton 12981cda3d9SWarner Losh20030423: 13081cda3d9SWarner Losh A bug has been fixed in /dev/devctl which would cause devd 13181cda3d9SWarner Losh to hang on boot, were it not for a workaround in devd. The 13281cda3d9SWarner Losh work around in devd will be removed around 20030507. You 13381cda3d9SWarner Losh have until then to upgrade your kernel before updating 13481cda3d9SWarner Losh userland. In general, you should have a userland and 13581cda3d9SWarner Losh kernel that's in sync with each other. However, given the 13681cda3d9SWarner Losh effects of this bug (hang on boot when starting devd), some 13781cda3d9SWarner Losh allowances are made. 13881cda3d9SWarner Losh 13947a657d1SRuslan Ermilov20030329: 14047a657d1SRuslan Ermilov Alphas with libc from between 20030312 and 20030329 exhibit 14147a657d1SRuslan Ermilov floating point exceptions (FPEs), most notably in awk(1) 14247a657d1SRuslan Ermilov while upgrading the system through a buildworld. 14347a657d1SRuslan Ermilov 14447a657d1SRuslan Ermilov So, to successfully upgrade your Alpha, you must either 14547a657d1SRuslan Ermilov downgrade your libc.so to a pre-20030312 version, or update 14647a657d1SRuslan Ermilov /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk to revision 1.26 which adds -mieee 14747a657d1SRuslan Ermilov to CFLAGS, then forcibly rebuild and install libc: 14847a657d1SRuslan Ermilov 14947a657d1SRuslan Ermilov cd /usr/src/lib/libc && \ 15047a657d1SRuslan Ermilov make cleandir && make obj && \ 15147a657d1SRuslan Ermilov make -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE all && \ 15247a657d1SRuslan Ermilov make -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE install 15347a657d1SRuslan Ermilov 1545d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro20030208: 1555d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro sendmail 8.12.7 has been imported. It has one important 1565d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro change for IPv6 users. The default submit.mc now uses 1575d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro '[127.0.0.1]' instead of 'localhost' meaning only IPv4 is 1585d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro used to connect to the MTA. Users on IPv6-only machines 1595d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro will need to edit /etc/mail/submit.mc appropriately. 1605d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro 1615d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro20030128: 1629db58771SPoul-Henning Kamp NODEVFS option has been removed and DEVFS thereby made standard. 163ca22e652SJens Schweikhardt This makes all references to MAKEDEV obsolete, and they should 1649db58771SPoul-Henning Kamp be removed when convenient. 1659db58771SPoul-Henning Kamp 1668d9b3f57SJake Burkholder20030126: 1678d9b3f57SJake Burkholder The name of the device for the ofw console has changed, sparc64 users 1688d9b3f57SJake Burkholder must run mergemaster to update their installed /etc/ttys. 1698d9b3f57SJake Burkholder 1701c5efda5SJeff Roberson20030125: 1711c5efda5SJeff Roberson The scheduler framework has grown a second scheduler and consequently 1721c5efda5SJeff Roberson you must specify one and only one scheduler in your kernel config. 173ca22e652SJens Schweikhardt The cvs config files have been updated to use the old scheduler 1741c5efda5SJeff Roberson which may be selected via 'options SCHED_4BSD'. If you would like 1751c5efda5SJeff Roberson to try the new, much more experimental, scheduler please try 1761c5efda5SJeff Roberson 'options SCHED_ULE' and contribute to the arch@ discussion. 1771c5efda5SJeff Roberson 1789d1d64f5SWarner Losh20030115: 1799d1d64f5SWarner Losh A new version of the wi driver has been imported into the tree. 1809d1d64f5SWarner Losh One now must have device wlan in the config file for it to operate 1819d1d64f5SWarner Losh properly. 1829d1d64f5SWarner Losh 183c9fdb80aSWarner Losh In addition, there have been some changes to how wi devices are 184c9fdb80aSWarner Losh configured for point to point links to bring it more in line 185c9fdb80aSWarner Losh with the former way of doing things, as well as compatibility 186c9fdb80aSWarner Losh with NetBSD. 187c9fdb80aSWarner Losh 188161dc364SAlexander Kabaev20021222: 189161dc364SAlexander Kabaev For a period after the GCC 3.2.1 import (from 12/04 to 12/22), GCC 190161dc364SAlexander Kabaev used an incompatible form of ABI for returning structures and unions 191161dc364SAlexander Kabaev which FreeBSD's GCC maintainers were not aware of relative to previous 192161dc364SAlexander Kabaev versions of FreeBSD. We have gone back to the ABI for now, and any 193161dc364SAlexander Kabaev code compiled which is required to interoperate with other code (not 194161dc364SAlexander Kabaev built at the same time) returning structs or unions should be 19584cc83efSAlexander Kabaev rebuilt. 196161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 197fb4c8061SMartin Blapp20021216: 198fb4c8061SMartin Blapp A name change in /etc/netconfig has been reverted to stay 19989056245SJens Schweikhardt compatible with suns TIRPC and also with NetBSD. You need 200fb4c8061SMartin Blapp to run mergemaster after make world. A new libc does still work 2019d5abbddSJens Schweikhardt with an outdated /etc/netconfig for some time, but you'll get 202fb4c8061SMartin Blapp a warning. This warning will be removed in 20030301. 203fb4c8061SMartin Blapp 20417d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas20021202: 20517d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas The recent binutils upgrade marks a kernel flag day on 20617d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas sparc64: modules built with the old binutils will not work 20717d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas with new kernels and vice versa. Mismatches will result in 20817d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas panics. Make sure your kernel and modules are in sync. 20917d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas 210a4459294SBill Fenner20021029: 211a4459294SBill Fenner The value of IPPROTO_DIVERT has changed. Make sure to keep 212a4459294SBill Fenner your kernel, netstat, natd and any third-party DIVERT 213a4459294SBill Fenner consumers in sync. 214a4459294SBill Fenner 215fc8c157fSWarner Losh20021024: 216c57404feSRuslan Ermilov Old, compatibility slices have been removed in GEOM kernels. 217c57404feSRuslan Ermilov This means that you will have to update your /etc/fstab to 218c57404feSRuslan Ermilov not use disk devices of the form /dev/ad0a. Instead, you 219c57404feSRuslan Ermilov now must specify /dev/ad0s1a, or whatever slice your FreeBSD 220c57404feSRuslan Ermilov partition really is on. The old device names have gone 221c57404feSRuslan Ermilov away, so if you use them anywhere else, you must also adjust 222c57404feSRuslan Ermilov those uses. (This doesn't affect the disks formatted in 223c57404feSRuslan Ermilov the ``dangerously-dedicated'' mode.) 22469f7bcf3SWarner Losh 225fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin20021023: 226fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin Alphas with kernels from between 20020830 and 20021023 and/or 227fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin rtld (ld-elf.so.1) older than 20021023 may experience problems 228fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin with groff while doing a buildworld (kernel: "out of memory", 229fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin fixed in rev 1.129 of kern/imgact_elf.c; rtld: "too few PT_LOAD 230fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin segments", fixed in rev 1.8 of libexec/rtld-elf/map_object.c). 231fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin 232fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin So, to successfully upgrade your Alpha, you must either 233fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin upgrade your kernel and rtld first (which might be a bit 234fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin tricky), or avoid running the bootstrapped groff during the 235fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin "transitional" buildworld. To avoid running groff during the 236fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin transitional upgrade run make buildworld with -DNOMAN, 237fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin -DNO_SHAREDOCS, and -DNO_LPR. 238fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin 239f8a4c901SWarner Losh20020831: 240f8a4c901SWarner Losh gcc has been upgraded to 3.2. It is not all binary compatible 241f8a4c901SWarner Losh with earlier versions of gcc for c++ programs. All c++ 242f8a4c901SWarner Losh programs and libraries need to be recompiled. 243f8a4c901SWarner Losh 244f8a4c901SWarner Losh Also, if you encounter g++ issues, rm /usr/include/g++/* before 245f8a4c901SWarner Losh doing an installworld to make sure that stale files are removed. 246f8a4c901SWarner Losh 247c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt20020827: 248c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm 249c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt almost unchanged. This means xterm now supports color by default. 250c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use 251c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt TERM=xterm. (xterm-color will lead to benign warnings). 252c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt 2530d533e43SRuslan Ermilov20020815: 2540d533e43SRuslan Ermilov A "bug" in gcc(1) that was hiding warning in system headers was 2550d533e43SRuslan Ermilov fixed. It's probably time to add -DNO_WERROR to your make line 2560d533e43SRuslan Ermilov again. 2570d533e43SRuslan Ermilov 25833c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov20020729: 25933c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov COPY is being deprecated. The 20010530 change was reverted, as 26033c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov it causes far more pain than was expected, and to always compare 26133c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov before installing, please use INSTALL="install -C" again. The 26233c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov -C option is now silently ignored when used with the -d option. 26333c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov 2642b877facSJulian Elischer20020702: 2652b877facSJulian Elischer Problems with libc_r clients like KDE and GNOME have been resolved. 2662b877facSJulian Elischer There are still some minor problems with some signals but the 2672b877facSJulian Elischer system is stable enough for general use again. SMP is less so than UP 2682b877facSJulian Elischer but each can successfully complete multiple buildworlds. 2692b877facSJulian Elischer Libkvm needs to be recompiled due to KSE. 2702b877facSJulian Elischer 27106596d37SWarner Losh20020701: 27206596d37SWarner Losh Now would be a bad time to upgrade. Something in or near the 27306596d37SWarner Losh KSE commit totally broke programs using libc_r like KDE and 27406596d37SWarner Losh GNOME. 27506596d37SWarner Losh 27695ba4330SJacques Vidrine20020511: 27795ba4330SJacques Vidrine The k5su utility installed as part of Kerberos 5 is no longer 27895ba4330SJacques Vidrine installed with the set-user-ID bit set by default. Add 27995ba4330SJacques Vidrine ENABLE_SUID_K5SU=yes to /etc/make.conf to have it installed 28095ba4330SJacques Vidrine with the set-user-ID bit set. 28195ba4330SJacques Vidrine 282a81da3c9SDavid E. O'Brien20020510: 283f50caf6fSDavid E. O'Brien Gcc 3.1 debugging format (cc -g) has changed from STABS to DWARF2. 284f50caf6fSDavid E. O'Brien Unfortunately our native GDB (at version 4.18) does not understand 2854b683fb2SRobert Watson the DWARF2 debugging format. Thus you must use `gcc -gstabs+' to 286f50caf6fSDavid E.

O'Brien Due to the way CVS works, it may not properly update src/contrib/gcc 290a81da3c9SDavid E. O'Brien to the 3.1 sources. The easiest fix is to `rm -rf' src/contrib/gcc 291a81da3c9SDavid E.

The sendmail binary is no 3188f35c493SWarner Losh longer a set-user-ID root binary and the infrastructure to support 3198f35c493SWarner Losh command line mail submission has changed. Be sure to run 3208f35c493SWarner Losh mergemaster (especially for updating /etc/rc, /etc/defaults/rc.conf, 3218f35c493SWarner Losh and /etc/mail) and read /etc/mail/README for more details. 3228f35c493SWarner Losh 323835284beSWarner Losh Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2, a new user and group are 324835284beSWarner Losh required in order for sendmail to run as a set-group-ID 325835284beSWarner Losh binary. A 'make installworld' will use the new user and group 326835284beSWarner Losh to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue and will 327835284beSWarner Losh fail if the new user and group do not exist. The 'smmsp' user 328835284beSWarner Losh and group must be merged from src/etc/group and 329835284beSWarner Losh src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'. 330835284beSWarner Losh 'mergemaster -p' will do this. You may need to install 331835284beSWarner Losh mergemaster before this will work if you are updating from a 332835284beSWarner Losh very old version of current.

If you 73063c90c9eSWarner Losh have a bad vi, you will see make buildworld fail with a core 7315fd2a895SWarner Losh dump while building termcap. You can work around this problem 73263c90c9eSWarner Losh by adding -k to your make buildworld. This will cause the 73363c90c9eSWarner Losh build to complete and install a new vi. Once that's done, you 73463c90c9eSWarner Losh can rebuild again without the -k to pick up anything that 73563c90c9eSWarner Losh might have been ignored by the -k option. 73663c90c9eSWarner Losh 7375fd2a895SWarner Losh Others have suggested that you can just rebuild libc if your 7385fd2a895SWarner Losh vi/ex is dynamically linked, but I've not received any reports 7395fd2a895SWarner Losh of this working. 7405fd2a895SWarner Losh 741aac7dfeaSWarner Losh20001228: 742aac7dfeaSWarner Losh There have been some changes to libcrypt in -current.

Among other things, 8495a01880bSWarner Losh this means that /etc/host.conf is no longer used. See 8505a01880bSWarner Losh nsswitch.conf(5) instead. Note that at boot time rc.network 8515a01880bSWarner Losh will attempt to produce a new nsswitch.conf file for you if you 8525a01880bSWarner Losh don't have one, and you have host.conf. 8535a01880bSWarner Losh 8542b41163cSWarner Losh20000905: 85538d6ecd2SWarner Losh The ucred structure changed size. This breaks the interface 85638d6ecd2SWarner Losh that mountd uses. Trying to use an older mountd with a newer 85738d6ecd2SWarner Losh kernel guarantees a panic. This means that you need to use 85838d6ecd2SWarner Losh kernels newer than today only with matching mountd, but you 85938d6ecd2SWarner Losh needed to do that anyway with the boot loader changes. 86038d6ecd2SWarner Losh 86138d6ecd2SWarner Losh20000905: 8628aab4bc7SWarner Losh The boot loader has been updated.

The most common complaint that this cures 874d594498fSWarner Losh is that the linux module crashes your machine after the update. 875d594498fSWarner Losh 876d594498fSWarner Losh if [ ! -d /boot/kernel.old ]; then 877d594498fSWarner Losh mv /modules.old /boot/kernel.old 878d594498fSWarner Losh chflags noschg /kernel.old 879d594498fSWarner Losh mv /kernel.old /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko 880d594498fSWarner Losh chflags schg /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko 881d594498fSWarner Losh fi 882d594498fSWarner Losh 883c22a309cSWarner Losh20000904: 884c22a309cSWarner Losh A new issue with the sendmail upgrade has come to light. 885c22a309cSWarner Losh /etc/aliases has moved to /etc/mail/aliases. Mergemaster will 886c22a309cSWarner Losh incorrectly install the default aliases in /etc/mail rather than 887c22a309cSWarner Losh move the old one from /etc. So you'll need to manually move the 888c22a309cSWarner Losh file, create a symbolic link, remove the old /etc/aliases.db and 889c22a309cSWarner Losh run newaliases. For safety sake, you should stop sendmail 890c22a309cSWarner Losh while doing this and run the upgrade when locally sourced email 891c22a309cSWarner Losh is not likely to be generated. 892c22a309cSWarner Losh 893fdb9f54dSWarner Losh20000825: 894fdb9f54dSWarner Losh /boot/device.hints is now required for installkernel to 8959c1a7444SWarner Losh succeed.

Some of the more 9188f250aa7SWarner Losh visible changes that may immediately affect your configuration 9198f250aa7SWarner Losh include: 9208f250aa7SWarner Losh - New default file locations from src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README 9218f250aa7SWarner Losh - newaliases limited to root and trusted users 9228f250aa7SWarner Losh - MSA port (587) turned on by default 9238f250aa7SWarner Losh - New queue file naming system so can't go from 8.11 -> 8.9 9248f250aa7SWarner Losh - FEATURE(`rbl') renamed to FEATURE(`dnsbl') 9258f250aa7SWarner Losh - FEATURE(`nullclient') is more full featured 9268f250aa7SWarner Losh - FEATURE(`nouucp') requires an argument: `reject' or `nospecial' 9278f250aa7SWarner Losh - mail.local FreeBSD-only -b option changed to -B 9288f250aa7SWarner Losh - See src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more info 9298f250aa7SWarner Losh 93071c38472SWarner Losh20000810: 93171c38472SWarner Losh suidperl (aka sperl) is no longer build by default. You must 93271c38472SWarner Losh specifically define BUILD_SUIDPERL to "true" for it to be build. 93371c38472SWarner Losh Furthermore, we recommend that you remove /usr/bin/sperl* and 93471c38472SWarner Losh /usr/bin/suidperl files from your system unless you have a 93571c38472SWarner Losh specific use for it. 93671c38472SWarner Losh 93771c38472SWarner Losh20000729: 93871c38472SWarner Losh Networking defaults have been tightened.

Those who have 9561dece4a9SWarner Losh updated their /boot/loader.conf files to point to /MYKERNEL 9571dece4a9SWarner Losh should remove that entry or perform manual rename of /kernel 9581dece4a9SWarner Losh to /MYKERNEL. 9591dece4a9SWarner Losh 960409e887cSWarner Losh20000711: 961409e887cSWarner Losh If you use CVSUP or CTM to get CVS trees, AND you used to get 962409e887cSWarner Losh the old crypto files from internat.freebsd.org AND you check 963409e887cSWarner Losh out files from the CVS tree with the cvs command, please read 964409e887cSWarner Losh http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/internat.txt 965409e887cSWarner Losh for details on potential problems that you might have and how 966409e887cSWarner Losh to get around them. 967409e887cSWarner Losh 968409e887cSWarner Losh If you are merely a mirror, or don't answer yes to each of the 969409e887cSWarner Losh clauses above, you needn't worry. 970409e887cSWarner Losh 971409e887cSWarner Losh20000711: 972409e887cSWarner Losh /etc/security has been updated to print the inode number of 973409e887cSWarner Losh setuid programs that have changed.

This 996e98e26cdSWarner Losh has been corrected. You may need to remove /usr/lib/libftpio.so.6 997e98e26cdSWarner Losh before doing your next buildworld/installworld pair. It certainly 998f699bbbbSMark Ovens won't hurt to remove it before the update procedure.

If you are grabbing CVS 102727dc3a2bSWarner Losh trees, src-all and cvs-crypto should be treated as if they 102827dc3a2bSWarner Losh were required. You should check with the latest collections 102927dc3a2bSWarner Losh to make sure that these haven't changed. 1030b8c215acSWarner Losh 10317b990719SWarner Losh20000624: 10327b990719SWarner Losh Mark Murray just committed the first parts of a cleanup of 10337b990719SWarner Losh /dev/zero, et al.

You may also need to copy a new MAKEDEV to /dev and 104327dc3a2bSWarner Losh recreate the random and urandom devices. 104427dc3a2bSWarner Losh 104581e54c50SWarner Losh20000622: 104681e54c50SWarner Losh The license on the softupdates is now a standard 2 clause 104781e54c50SWarner Losh BSD license. You may need to remove your symbolic links 104881e54c50SWarner Losh that used to be required when updating. 104981e54c50SWarner Losh 105039943833SWarner Losh20000621: 10512c021c6cSMark Ovens Scott Flatman <sf@aracnet.com> sent in a decent write-up on 10522a2f33fbSDaniel Baker the config file update procedure. 10532a2f33fbSDaniel Baker http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/config-upd.html 1054c373950eSWarner Losh NOTE: LINT is gone.

As soon 1060290f9ad8SWarner Losh as they do, the problem noted in 20000522 will be resolved and 1061290f9ad8SWarner Losh that workaround will no longer be required. 1062290f9ad8SWarner Losh 106390fb6346SWarner Losh20000615: 106490fb6346SWarner Losh phk removed the compatibility creation of wd devices in the 106590fb6346SWarner Losh ad driver. If you haven't done so already, you must update 106690fb6346SWarner Losh your fstab, etc to use the ad devices instead of the wd 106790fb6346SWarner Losh devices. 106890fb6346SWarner Losh 1069f75f65bbSWarner Losh In addition, you'll need to update your boot blocks to a 1070f75f65bbSWarner Losh more modern version, if you haven't already done so. Modern 1071f75f65bbSWarner Losh here means 4.0 release or newer (although older releases 1072f75f65bbSWarner Losh may work). 1073f75f65bbSWarner Losh 1074ba26da8eSWarner Losh20000612: 1075ba26da8eSWarner Losh Peter took an axe to config(8). Be sure that you read his mail 1076290f9ad8SWarner Losh on the topic before even thinking about updating. You will 1077c6dd1430SWarner Losh need to create a /boot/device.hints or add a hints directive 1078290f9ad8SWarner Losh to your config file to compile them in statically. The format 1079f54a3542SWarner Losh of the config file has changed as well.

Unless a newer entry 10839698f2c0SWarner Losh says that it has been fixed, assume that must use the hints mechanism 10849698f2c0SWarner Losh in the loader if you need to use a machine with very old ISA cards 10859698f2c0SWarner Losh in it. 1086bbcc5149SWarner Losh 1087d65850ebSWarner Losh20000522: 1088ba26da8eSWarner Losh A new set of binutils went into the tree today. Anybody 1089d65850ebSWarner Losh building a kernel after this point is advised that they need 1090d65850ebSWarner Losh to rebuild their binutils (or better yet do a 1091d65850ebSWarner Losh buildworld/installworld) before building a new kernel. 1092d65850ebSWarner Losh 1093d9583a00SWarner Losh Due to bugs in binutils, using malloc options (eg /etc/malloc.conf 1094d9583a00SWarner Losh or MALLOC_OPTIONS env var) J will cause ld to dump core. It 1095d9583a00SWarner Losh is recommended that you don't set this option until the problem 1096d9583a00SWarner Losh is resolved. 1097d9583a00SWarner Losh 10988039cedeSWarner Losh20000513: 10998039cedeSWarner Losh The ethernet drivers were all updated to clean up the BPF handling. 11008039cedeSWarner Losh 1101d65850ebSWarner Losh20000510: 11028039cedeSWarner Losh The problems with boot blocks on the alphas have been corrected. 11038039cedeSWarner Losh This will require some care in updating alphas. A new libstand 11048039cedeSWarner Losh is requires for the boot blocks to build properly. 11058039cedeSWarner Losh 11068039cedeSWarner Losh20000503: 11078039cedeSWarner Losh Recompile all kld modules.

You will need to 11232b8dd5f4SWarner Losh rebrand your ELF binaries that aren't native. One problem 11242b8dd5f4SWarner Losh binary is the Linux ldconfig. After your make world, but 11252c021c6cSMark Ovens before you reboot, you'll need to issue: 11262b8dd5f4SWarner Losh brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig 11272b8dd5f4SWarner Losh if you have Linux compatibility enabled on your machine. 11282b8dd5f4SWarner Losh 11298d9f1945SWarner Losh20000320: 11302b8dd5f4SWarner Losh If you have really bad/marginal IDE drives, you may find they 11312b8dd5f4SWarner Losh don't work well. Use pio mode instead. The easiest way to 11322b8dd5f4SWarner Losh cope if you have a problem combination is to add: 1133ae20a1b8SDima Dorfman /sbin/sysctl hw.ata.ata_dma=0 11342b8dd5f4SWarner Losh to the start of /etc/rc.conf. 11358d9f1945SWarner Losh 1136f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh20000319: 1137f699bbbbSMark Ovens The ISA and PCI compatibility shims have been connected to the 1138f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh options COMPAT_OLDISA and COMPAT_OLDPCI. If you are using old 1139f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must 1140f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh include the appropriate option in your kernel config. Drivers 1141f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with 1142f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh 5.0-RELEASE, targeted for 2001. 1143f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh 114419cada77SWarner Losh20000318: 1145f699bbbbSMark Ovens We've entered the traditional post release dumping party. 114619cada77SWarner Losh Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the 114719cada77SWarner Losh works. It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel 114819cada77SWarner Losh in sync as kernel interfaces and structures are changing. 114919cada77SWarner Losh Before reporting kernel panics, make sure that all modules 115019cada77SWarner Losh that you are loading are up to date. 1151ba228352SWarner Losh 115219cada77SWarner Losh20000315: 11536d23c382SWarner Losh If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you 11546d23c382SWarner Losh need to update your boot blocks as well. 'disklabel -B ad0' 11556d23c382SWarner Losh will do the trick. This isn't critical until you remove your 11566d23c382SWarner Losh wd device entries in /dev, at which point your system will not 11576d23c382SWarner Losh boot. 11586d23c382SWarner Losh 11596d23c382SWarner Losh20000315: 116019cada77SWarner Losh 4.0 RELEASE shipped.

From time to time in the 1168a24eff53SWarner Losh past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or 1169a24eff53SWarner Losh installworld. This is especially true when upgrading between 1170a24eff53SWarner Losh "distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary 1171a24eff53SWarner Losh or several minor releases, or when several months have passed 1172a24eff53SWarner Losh on the -current branch). 1173a24eff53SWarner Losh 11745780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 11755780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 11765780f3baSWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. 11775780f3baSWarner Losh To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", 11785780f3baSWarner Losh prefix all make commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual 11795780f3baSWarner Losh page for more details. 11805780f3baSWarner Losh 1181dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1182dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1183ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 1184f699bbbbSMark Ovens a few days old), you should follow this procedure.

At this point in the life 1272fdb9f54dSWarner Losh cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own 1273fdb9f54dSWarner Losh to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of 1274fdb9f54dSWarner Losh the UPDATING entries. 1275ba26da8eSWarner Losh 12761dece4a9SWarner Losh Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to 12771dece4a9SWarner Losh freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update 12781dece4a9SWarner Losh your sources that you have read and understood all the recent 12791dece4a9SWarner Losh messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has 12801dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 12811dece4a9SWarner Losh 1282134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1283134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1284134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1285134d2e86SWarner Losh 12869c1a7444SWarner Losh [2] If you have legacy ISA devices, you may need to create 12879c1a7444SWarner Losh your own device.hints to reflect your unique hardware 12889c1a7444SWarner Losh configuration. 12899c1a7444SWarner Losh 1290ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1291ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1292ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1293ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 1294ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh cd /usr/src 129547d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1296f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1297f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1298b705ae10SWarner Losh For the 4.x -> 5.0 upgrade, you will also see many messages about 1299b705ae10SWarner Losh needing to recompile your userland. These are harmless and can 1300b705ae10SWarner Losh be ignored while you proceed to the next step. 1301ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1302a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1303a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1304a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1305a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1306a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 1307a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh for potential gotchas. 1308a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1309835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1310835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1311835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1312835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1313835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 1314835284beSWarner Losh from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408. 1315835284beSWarner Losh 1316bd79cf40SWarner Losh [6] 4.x boot loader can be used to boot a 5.x system, however 1317bd79cf40SWarner Losh it is difficult to do that at best. If you wish to try, then 1318bd79cf40SWarner Losh you should interrupt the boot and at the ok prompt type: 1319bd79cf40SWarner Losh ok unload 1320bd79cf40SWarner Losh ok boot /boot/kernel/kernel 1321bd79cf40SWarner Losh If this fails to work, you must install a new boot loader as 1322bd79cf40SWarner Losh described here. 1323fc8c157fSWarner Losh 1324fc8c157fSWarner Losh [7] Before you upgrade, please make sure that you are not using 1325fc8c157fSWarner Losh compatibility slices. These are device names of the form, on i386 1326fc8c157fSWarner Losh and other architectures that use MBR slicing, /dev/ad0a without the 1327fc8c157fSWarner Losh actual slice name. Chances are excellent that these will break. 1328fc8c157fSWarner Losh You generally must update these entries to use the post FreeBSD 1329fc8c157fSWarner Losh 2.x form of /dev/ad0s1a. 1330fc8c157fSWarner Losh 1331c74fe6afSWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries 1332c74fe6afSWarner Losh needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 1333c74fe6afSWarner Losh option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system 1334c74fe6afSWarner Losh that is hard to boot to recover. 1335c74fe6afSWarner Losh 133621c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 133721c075eaSWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1338dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1339dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1340f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 13411fc1a0dcSWarner Loshbreakages in tracking -current.
